Product Description
Since the first edition of Medical Terminology: A Living Language was published it has been noted for its “clean” and logical format that promotes a seemless learning experience. The Fourth Edition provides users with a consistent and logical system to help them build their understanding of medical terminology as it relates to the human body. This book maintains a real-world focus that relates medical terminology to various health professions, thereby capturing the users interest and providing information about potential future health careers. This information is reinforced with some key new features such as : an all-new art program carefully crafted by a medically trained illustrator; the System At A Glance chapter-opening feature which provides a quick reference for each topic being discussed in terms of its function, organs, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes; the pharmacology tables which have been expanded to include commonly used generic and brand names; and much more. All health professionals and medical terminology students.

 Helpful reference August 30, 2006

I was required to have this book for my Medical Terminology class. I found the set up to work well. The "homework" at the end of each chapter really helped me remember what I learned the chapters. I think it could have been more detailed on the diseases etc. But a pretty good book which I will continue to use as a reference.

The book is excellent. However, I had to purchase a medical dictionary to enhance understanding and retention of the material. The book could be made more user friendly by including explanations of ALL Greek words (e.g., angina means pain).
